The Doug Ford government has formally submitted a revised application to the City of Toronto for the revamping of Ontario Place.
The Doug Ford government has formally submitted a revised application to the City of Toronto for the revamping of Ontario Place, saying it believes it has addressed many of the concerns with the original proposal, and that work is expected to begin on the site this fall.
In a release Thursday, the province said work will begin this fall on the removal of “a significant amount of trees and vegetation from across the site” to prepare for construction, as well as work to improve gas, water and electrical infrastructure.“In order to improve accessibility and public space, we’ve made changes to the bridge which connects the mainland over to the Therme facility.
Asked about reports that the lease agreement with Therme is for 95 years, Surma did not give the exact figure, but did confirm it is a “long-term” agreement. “The plan also shows how the new, modernized Ontario Science Centre will be integrated with the preserved and upgraded Cinesphere and pod complex, as well as an underground public parking facility that will serve visitors across the site and will include increased spaces for bicycle parking,” the province said in a statement.
